Over the past several weeks I’ve noticed that my trusty Dell TrueMobile 1184 wireless router would unintentionally drop wireless connections and was incapable of more than about 5MB/s of throughput. Then yesterday, it started dropping my wired Ethernet connection. Okay, I guess it’s time to retire the old girl and finally upgrade to that newfangled 802.11-G spec. Keep in mind this router came out in in October of 2002 and has happily served my home networking these past 6+ years. It will be hard to see her go, just thinking of all the places we’ve been together, networks we’ve encountered and files she’s served. In honor of her passing, I decided to post a photo and consider this her memorial. Rest In Peace my friend. You will be missed.
